Preface
This supplement of Acta Neurochirurgica is the fourth
in the series of proceedings covering the official biennial
conferences of the Neurorehabilitation Committee of the
World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS)
in connection with the 1
st
congress of the International
Society of Reconstructive Neurosurgery (ISRN) which
was held in Seoul in September 1–3, 2005. This supple-
ment deals with various forms of neuromodulation and
neurorehabilitation therapies in the field of stereotactic
and functional neurosurgery. Recent advances in ste-
reotactic and functional neurosurgery have opened up
an important new area in which neurosurgeons can col-
laborate with basic neuroscientists, engineers, and other
specialists from diverse fields such as rehabilitation,
ENT, eye, orthopaedic surgery etc. I have no doubt that
the authors assembled to address these topics have pres-
ented a balanced and up-to date analysis of the knowl-
edge and approaches in this new era. Furthermore, I am
confident that this supplement has been conceived to
provide timely and pertinent reviews of clinically and
neuroscientifically relevant topics for the practicing neu-
rosurgeons in this field.
I would also like to express my sincere and cordial
thanks to Professor Katayama and Professor Yamamoto
for their heartfelt cooperation and guidance in the ac-
complishment of this supplement and for the successful
meeting. I would also like to thank all the authors for
submitting their original papers for inclusion into this
4
th
supplement. Finally, I wish to say a special word of
thanks to Professor Steiger, the editor of Acta Neuro-
chirurgica, for his support and aid in achieving this
supplement.
